NFL Media draft analyst Mike Mayock ranks Josh Allen second on his list of the top five quarterbacks eligible for the 2018 NFL Draft.

Allen ranks behind USC signal-caller Sam Darnold, and comes in ahead of UCLA's Josh Rosen, Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield, and Louisville's Lamar Jackson ties for fifth with Oklahoma State's Mason Rudolph. The 6-foot-4, 237-pound signal-caller made a (mostly) positive impact during the Senior Bowl, and he joins other major draft pundits who ranks at or near the top of the quarterback rankings. How Allen performs at the Senior Bowl/pro day will go a long way towards cementing his draft status. Feb 16 - 5:54 PM

"Having scouted him in person at the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl and working with him at the Senior Bowl," Rang writes, "no general manager in the NFL likely knows Allen better than (John Elway) -- one of the few in league history to rival this kid’s prototypical combination of size, arm strength and athleticism." While we understand where Rang's coming from (to whit, in his most recent mock, Rotoworld's Josh Norris likewise pegged Allen to the Broncos), there are some logical hoops to jump through here, most notably that Denver's clearest path to a legitimate Super Bowl run in what's currently a weak AFC would be to draft the most NFL-ready quarterback available on the board -- and Josh Allen is not ready -- or to take a shot in free agency.

SB Nation's Dan Kadar projects the Bills to take Wyoming QB Josh Allen with the 22nd pick in his updated mock draft.

The Bills have two first-round picks because of the Patrick Mahomes deal with the Chiefs last year, so it's a little easier for them to take a "risk" like this near the bottom of the first. While Allen is considered a project, the fact that he has quality arm strength that can cut through the Buffalo wind is at least one concern that would be alleviated if they went this route. "Allen has plenty of warts as a quarterback prospect," Kazar writes, "but he has the size and athleticism combination teams fall in love with during the offseason process." Feb 12 - 4:13 PM

Walter Football's Walter Cherepinsky projects that Wyoming QB Josh Allen will end up on the Jets.

In a projection of the top NFL Draft prospects as well as the free agents at the quarterback position, Cherpinsky sees Allen becoming the quarterback of the future in New York. "It seems as though the big-armed Josh Allen is the sort of quarterback general manager Mike Maccagnan wants," he writes. "I have to believe that No. 6 overall is Allen's floor, and the Jets may even trade up for him (perhaps with the Colts.) Allen has his flaws, mostly concerning his accuracy, but he has a ton of potential." Feb 9 - 8:49 PM
